         Before a Flood
            Hire a licensed gas contractor to shut off your gas supply before moving gas
            appliances that might become submerged.
            Propane tanks must be secured in flood conditions. Ask your propane supplier to

BEFORE
            move your tank to higher ground if necessary, or place it on blocks to protect it
            from flood waters. For propane services contact your local propane supplier.
            If you own your own propane cylinder (100lbs or less), secure it with wire rope,
            steel cable or chain it to a stationary object to prevent it from floating away.
            Call Sask 1st Call at 1-866-828-4888 before you dig to ensure you stay safe and
            don’t interrupt important services like emergency 9-1-1.




         During a Flood
            Shut off the gas supply to all natural gas and propane appliances.


DURING
            Shut off the valves to all propane tanks or cylinders.
            Call SaskEnergy at 1-888-700-0427 if you are unable to shut off your gas service
            and water is entering your basement.
            Never use appliances (i.e. gas ranges) that are not certified for heating as
            temporary heat sources, as they may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.




         After a Flood
            Never attempt to re-light a gas appliance if it has been submerged in water. Call a
            licensed gas contractor. Furnaces, water heaters and other gas appliances
            exposed to flood water can create fire, explosion, and carbon monoxide hazards.
            If appliances need to be replaced or serviced, a permit must be issued and the

AFTER
            work must be done by a licensed gas contractor.
            Have a licensed gas contractor make the necessary correction(s) as required by
            the TSASK Emergency Flood Guideline and Appendix E of the 2026 TSASK
            Informative Document, and CSA B149.1:25 Natural Gas and Propane Code.
            If your gas was disconnected as a safety precaution but you didn’t experience
            flooding, contact a TSASK Gas Inspector at 1-866-530-8599 to ensure it is safe
            to restore your gas or propane service without a gas contractor or permit.
